Jack as Pop-Pop

Croakies and all.

4-Month Check Up

For some reason I always forget that "well check-ups" mean "You're child is healthy and happy so we're going to stick her 4 times with a needle so she'll scream." Ok, I know the nice doctors and nurses aren't mean people, it's just that I only seem to think that well check-ups tell me how big and pudgy my kids are and I conveniently forget about the shots part. Emma took it like a big girl (picture beat red face and large tears while trying desperately to calm herself by vigorously sucking on as many fingers as possible.)

Here are a couple pictures I snapped as soon as we got home. Poor, tired girly.

On a happy note, she weighed in at 16.6 lbs, stood/laid at 25 in. long, and a head circumference of 43 somethings (I'm guessing/hoping centimeters). That puts her in the 95th percentile for weight, 75th for height, and 90th for head. Feel free to comment on my mammoth children. I can take it.

Happy 4 Months, Emma!

Why only post one picture when you have five?!

Curly Hair and Blue Eyes

I just love those sweet blue eyes.

My Emma girl after a bath:

Play time for Sophie and Emma (thanks for sharing all your toys, Soph!):

A day at the baby pool (Emma was excited at the chance to show off her rolls):

And a day of snow tubing (without Daddy or Emma, unfortunately):

Punk Emma

This is my daughter.

She doesn't like to be messed with.

Would you mess with a 3-month old that looked like this?

So today at lunch I was trying to make conversation with Jack to get him to eat all his chicken soup (since he has a cold). Here was the conversation:

Me: Jack, who made you?
Jack: Bock bock (which means chicken)
Me: [Laugh] No. God made you. Jack, who made you?
Jack: God.
Me: Good! Where does God live?
Jack: Bob!
Me: [Laughing again] Jack who made you?
Jack: [Pause] Bock bock!

So as you can see we have a ways to go in our theology courses.
